It’s So Easy! 46 Easy Crochet Granny Square Patterns
Basic Rectangle Granny – This is such a cute rectangle granny square and it’s a great beginner pattern. Using an H hook and worsted weight yarn, this rectangle granny is 6 inches by 8 inches when complete. However, you can make this rectangle larger by just continuing with the pattern. I’ve heard plenty of people learn how to crochet a granny square for the first time and then ended up crocheting around and around until they ended up with a big granny square blanket. It’s a great idea and a good way to practice your stitches.
April Square – I might be partial to this square since my birthday is in April and every time I see this pattern I smile. Nonetheless, this is an easy pattern that uses two colors in a relatively simple way. This square crochets up quickly so it’s great for granny square afghans that need to be done in a timely manner.
Popcorn Lace 12″ Afghan Square
– This is a 12-inch square so it’s a little bigger than the ones above. It’s very easy to crochet in just 10 rounds of basic stitches. I like this square because of it’s lacy structure which makes it great for lighter throws. You could also crochet a bunch of these to make a lightweight baby blanket too.

love making granny squares, next project will be a granny blanket
That is awesome! I am doing the same!
Thank you as a re-fresher course I find these helpful, forget ch in between 2 or 3 etc.
I would crochet them everyday if I could find an easy to remember pattern….just beginning to learn this technique and I have made 9 so far, but I want to be able to do this from memory, not while watching a video…..So I am hoping I can find one here so I can do this everyday until I have enough to make a blanket/afghan…..
This pattern works up simply for me and I like that it appears to be similar to a basket weave.http://ambassadorcrochet.com/2010/09/06/in-depth-stitch-of-the-week/
Practice. Practice. More practice.
how do i get the instructions. thank you
Me interesan las manualedades, el crochet palillo, telar gracias
I hope this note finds whomever reads it in great health. I made a hat a couple of years ago from a pattern entitled Granny Square Hat, it was like a beanie in GS stitches all around, I wondered if you had anything like that i your repertoire and if you did could you post it. I have lost the pattern and have forgotten what website I found it on…Thank you
This is awesome! I just learned how to crochet and I was able to make all of them!
THANKS!
this is awesome!
I make granny square afghans with 4 other ladies and also guys at the Jail and we give them away to people in need.
I always have trouble making mine exactly the same size, and joining them together. It always turns out a bit wonky, but I guess I just need to work on my tension? Love having lots of choices to try out!
I like trying different squares, sometimes different yarn types/weights. Of course they don’t come out the same size. How can I combine them into a “crazy quilt” afghan when they’re all different sizes?
I’ve been crocheting since grandma taught me at 5 yrs the granny square afghan I’ve been making for 35+ years has an increase of 5x by repeating rnds 13-18 to make 48 rows and has pearl cotton edging where do I find the correct name for thispattern? with much thanks
I love making granny squares and trying out new patterns and colours
